If your child still needs to visit with Santa before Christmas Day, there are some great opportunities around the Sound! Santa and his helpers will be making treks to hear the wishes of every little girl and boy! Here are some of our favorite Santa events.

Roughly 200 people made their way down to Seattle Center for a 12:01 am celebration of the legalization of marijuana in Washington. Though smoking in public is still not legal, Seattle Police agreed not to cite anyone early Thursday morning for doing so.

The crowds of happy people lighting joints under Seattle’s Space Needle early Thursday morning with nary a police officer in sight bespoke the new reality: Marijuana is legal under Washington state law.

Gather your friends and family around an elegant table on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for a lovely and relaxing meal. Many prix fixe dinners are available at some of Puget Sound’s most desired restaurants.

Seattle-native Nicole Commins is officially the first person to ever have his or her personal design painted on top of the Space Needle’s roof. Commins’ design called “trees” racked up the most votes in this year’s #TopThis roof contest.
